Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine cubed fish, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in half the red onion and all the jalapeño. Let sit 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While fish cures, boil sweet potato until fork-tender, ~12 minutes. Drain and cut into wedges.

  4. Step 4

    If using fresh choclo, boil until kernels are tender, ~8 minutes. Drain.

  5. Step 5

    When fish is opaque at the edges and firm but tender inside, fold in cilantro and remaining raw onion.

  6. Step 6

    Spoon ceviche into bowls. Arrange sweet potato wedges, choclo, and cancha on the side. Serve immediately.
